Building an iOS and Android app for a postcard service company

This postcard services company is uniquely positioned with services that bridge gap that exists between people who value printed photos and who share photographs online. They needed a solution that could help people send their photos stored in their mobile devices through an app by applying filters and effects and add messages before sending it to their friends and families.

The client company would then print it out and post a real photo for them for a minimal cost. To fulfill this vision, the client partnered with e-Zest.

Here’s how e-Zest helped by delivering an iOS and Android application integrating the vision and development needs of the client:

Built two native iOS and Android applications to pay dedicated attention towards both the platforms.

The teams added functionalities such as filters, fonts, effects, photo tools and payment gateway in the apps as well.

The special focus on UI ensures that the app is intuitive and offers the best UI experience to end-users.

The Android App saw more than 100+ downloads in the first initial days of its launch with 5-star rating from majority of its users resulting in significant productivity gains positioning the app in the marketplace as a marketing tool by offering free postcards.
